She mimicked the singing ghost women from other cabins.

Shui Zhongyue didn't quite understand human affairs and didn't think much of it, but Xian'er had a strange look in her eyes.

Fortunately, she already understood Shui Zhonghua's character and wouldn't misunderstand Shui Zhongyue to do something abominable—having read a lot of tales and broadened her horizon, she knew that things could happen between women too.

Shui Zhongyue said, "Restore your spiritual power first. I'll protect you. Once you've recovered, I'll go to the ship's hold to find the Great King of Numinous Power."

"Yes."

Xian'er sat cross-legged and ate another Spirit Revitalizing Pill.

After an hour, the abundant spiritual energy filled the Qi Sea again.

"Are you ready?" Shui Zhongyue asked.

"Hmm." Xian'er nodded.

"Stay here. I'll go find the Great King of Numinous Power. If I fail, I'll escape on my own. You should leave quickly too."

As she spoke, Shui Zhongyue raised a hand and Shui Zhonghua reverted to her original form, before being stowed away into a Beast Bag by Shui Zhongyue.

"Senior Shui, I want to go with you!" Xian'er said urgently.

"You?" Shui Zhongyue looked puzzled.

Her expression was cold, making it hard to discern how much of her puzzlement was doubt and how much was disdain.

Xian'er explained, "My mother's water is still missing some parts, moreover, the Golden Core Stage great monster will definitely have subordinates. I can't help much, but I can use talismans to deal with the little monsters for you. As for the danger—"

She gripped the branch at her waist: "—with the gods as elders here, I'm not afraid."

After a brief contemplation, Shui Zhongyue said, "Alright, let's go."

"Senior, please wait a moment."

Xian'er summoned her data panel, used 1 Point, and upgraded the Ghost Escape Technique (Small Success: 1/100) to Great Success.

The insights were unknown to Shui Zhongyue, but she saw a gray mist rising from Xian'er's feet.

The gray mist rushed towards the shattered shroud of the ghost old woman, devouring it completely, then dashed out the cabin door and disappeared.

Zooming out the view, one could see a gray mist weaving its way through the ship like Needle Threading.

With each pass, a howling ghost was consumed.

By the time the gray mist returned, countless evil ghosts were struggling and roaring within it, lifting Xian'er up.

The Ghost Escape Technique had advanced to an unbelievable realm.

Capable of passing through walls, permeating bodies, invisibility, disregarding most formations, among other wonders.

"What a pity," Shui Zhongyue said.

After all, it's just a First Rank level eight magic.

Xian'er had already reached the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, just one step away from the Foundation Establishment Stage. If she could use this 1 Point on a Foundation Establishment magic, it would be more appropriate.

She dared to face a Golden Core Stage because she had mastered Foundation Establishment Stage magic at Great Success.

Yet, her desire not to rely on it was good, more precious than that 1 Point.

Xian'er retracted the gray mist and said to Shui Zhongyue, "Senior, I am ready."

"Good."

The two headed to the hold.

Along the way, they made quite a commotion, yet no ferocious ghost or demon beast intervened, suggesting this ship had its own rules.

The hold contained only one room, almost as large as the entire hull, about five hundred zhang long and almost a hundred zhang at its widest point, a grand scale indeed.

The two walked in.

At that time, a feast was under way, with all kinds of little monsters sitting on the ground, each gnawing on bloodied food.

There were also mermaids, whose fish tails began from their waists, singing and dancing in the center of the hold.

The Great King of Numinous Power, in human form, sat on a giant couch, a drunken and languid air about him, with dragon whiskers longer than his own body.

He was unusually a male king—Moon Lake's female lords were more common.

"Oh? Beauties?" The Great King of Numinous Power drunkenly saw the two fuzzy figures, "And a snake beauty, good. I've heard that snake demons can subdue human cultivators with just their tongues. Come closer, let me see."

Xian'er's entire body tensed.

An early Foundation Establishment fierce ghost nearly took her life; before her was a Golden Core Stage being, a hundred times stronger.

She looked toward Shui Zhongyue.

Shui Zhongyue turned her head, closing the cabin door leading to the upper levels.

After completing this step, she softly said to Xian'er, "Take action."
